Imagine a world without oil as a source of power! Well before the 20th century the world depended on another source of power—the horse. In fact the avenues of New York and the streets of Main Street America were crowded with horse drawn vehicles. Given this rich history, students of the School of Visual Arts have learned from the past and have imagined today's world without oil.

As a point of departure, students have taken horse drawn vehicles of yesterday and have reinvented them to take on the task of today's energy challenged world. Carriages, sleighs, etc., are being created in a "satirical" manner in hope of showing what we could learn from our past.
